"smooth like butter"

COMMENTS: Just a small amount of isopropyl myristrate makes my balms, butters, creams, and lotions, nice and smooth. It cuts some of the greasy feeling that comes with certain natural waxes and butters. I am buying a gallon so that I never run out!

COMMENTS: Great product. Used on body oil. It made the oil lighter and smooth on the skin. A great additive.

"Love!"

COMMENTS: Love, love, love this stuff. It makes my lotions and body butters feel like silk! My products do not have that greasy feeling that sticks to you for hours after application. I am a nurse and use it at work and don't have to wipe some of the lotion off just to be able to write and do my paperwork. Definitely will be using this every time I make my products.

"Does what it says"

COMMENTS: I mixed up 16 ounces of lotion from scratch, incorporating isopropyl myristate into the recipe. Compared to lotions I've made in the past without this product, there is a noticable difference in the silkiness of the finished product containing isopropyl myristate. The finished lotion did not have a 'drag' to it. Will order more.

"Isopropyl Myristate"

COMMENTS: Was hesitant to using any other products in my lotions, but really wanted something that would help with the tackiness that All natural Goats Milk lotions have, no matter what the oil blend. This did the trick and has bumped up the quality significantly!! I only use it at 2% but even that small amount makes a huge difference. Is not a permanent ingredient in my lotion base. Priced cost effective for a small business in its start up stages.

WSP Questions And Answers

"Hello can i use Isopropyl Myristate in face products i am trying to make facial oil can i add in to that to have silky feel so the oils won't feel too oily "

Staff Answer
The purpose of Isopropyl Myristate is to reduce the greasy feeling that is sometimes experienced with lotions and creams. If your intention is to use the lotion candle as just a hand or body lotion, then the addition of this product would be fine. If you intend to use the lotion candle as a massage candle then it would be best to leave out the Isopropyl Myristate to ensure that your product has enough "glide".

Staff Answer
You can use this in place of the tapioca starch or you can use a combination of the two. We recommend testing all substitutions in a small batch before making a larger batch for retail. You alone are responsible for product and recipe testing to ensure compatibility and safety.

Staff Answer
No, Isopropyl Myristate is not a natural ingredient. It may be considered vegan in that it does not contain any animal bi-products but we do not carry vegan certification for any of our products.

"Hello, when I received this product from your store (one big and one little bottle) the sealers had gone (disolved by the product). May I still use this product ? Their is the sealer stuff inside the liquid now :-( "

Staff Answer
The product itself is still safe to use. I would recommend straining it to remove any liner bits before adding it to your products. Please feel free to call customer service for further assistance. 1-800-359-0944

"I think I'm a little confused, but don't want to sound like a fool asking for clarification. Oh well, I'll ask anyways lol. This isopropyl myristate says it gets rid of the "greasy" feel. Does that effect any of the other benefits the product has to offer, example: nutrition, moisture.....?"

Staff Answer
Yes, you can add Isopropyl Miristate to our Shea Aloe Butter base. Isopropyl Miristate counteracts the “oily” feel in some lotions and provides a soft and silky feel. The "Learn to Use" tab recommends a usage rate of 2-5% in lotions and creams.

Hi, yes it can. However, you should bear in mind that Isoproyl myristate not only cuts down on that greasy feeling but it aids in helping oils to penetrate your skin. This would be great for a body oil spray with a low level of fragrance oil but perhaps not for a perfume spray which would have a much higher level of fragrance. Cyclomethicone on its own is better for a perfume spray as it will deposit the fragrance and then evaporate.

"When do you add the ispropyl myristate to lotion formulations? During emulsification or after? Can I add it to a lotion that's already cooled down? Any specific temperature or pH requirement when adding?"

Hi, Isopropyl Myristate should be calculated as a percentage of the oil phase and added to the heated oils portion of your lotion formula. It shouldn't be added after the lotion has already cooled down. As such there is no specific temperature or pH requirement when adding as it would be added at room temperature and then heated.
